    Chapter 94 Signing a Contract

    The cold wind pouring in from the car window slightly blew away the warmth left by the hug just now.

    Lu Qingrang was preparing to meet Director Wang to discuss the specific arrangements for the signing.Xu Wen originally wanted to come with him, but the company’s business has been increasing recently, and it is necessary to leave someone who can take charge.

    When parting, Xu Wen hugged him hard, and his warm breath filled his ears: “Everything went well.”

    Lu Qingrang recalled this moment unconsciously.

    He was keenly aware that something was quietly changing.

    When Tianqiong officially signed the contract, and when all the dust settled, he wanted to have a good talk with Xu Wen.

    Some words have been hidden in my heart for too long.

    Before the signing was completed, he was always worried. Although the Nangong family suffered setbacks one after another, the foundation was still there after all.

    Once the new intelligent system is fully launched, the official’s current ambiguous attitude will change immediately.In the face of interests, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. The day the Tianqiong system is not officially operational, the official support will not completely fall to them.Lu Qingrang knew this better than anyone else.

    Lu Qingrang frowned, these worries always lingering in his mind.

    The car slowly stopped in front of the familiar building.

    He got out of the car alone, straightened his collar, and walked towards Director Wang’s office.

    Lu Qingrang sat down on the guest chair opposite Director Wang and got straight to the point: “Director Wang, the Nangong family will definitely block this Tianqiong contract.”

    Director Wang stood up, poured a cup of tea for Lu Qingrang, and said solemnly: “Only you and I know the real time of this signing. The big boss will be there in person, and we have also made relevant arrangements.”

    “Not enough.” Lu Qingrang shook his head slightly, “They are now desperate and will only jump over the wall. Is it true that the choice of the signing location cannot be adjusted?”

    Director Wang frowned: “That’s inappropriate. We have been here for many days to sign the contract, and all arrangements are designed around the existing venue.”

    “That’s the problem.” Lu Qingrang leaned forward slightly, “You and I both know that the contract is said to be secret, but it will be announced on a large scale after the official trial run is completed. This secret is probably no longer a secret in the Nangong family.”

    “The people under control this time are all our people.” Director Wang also wanted to explain.

    Lu Qingrang looked directly into his eyes, and the two looked at each other for a moment. Director Wang was the first to look away.

    “Mr. Lu, what you said makes sense. But the signing is imminent, and many arrangements are already in place, and it really cannot be changed.”

    Lu Qingrang pondered for a moment: “In that case, I have a heartfelt request. On the day of signing the contract, I hope Director Wang can go with me in the car.”

    Director Wang was obviously stunned for a moment: “This”

    “Since the location cannot be changed, let’s ask Director Wang to accompany us personally.” Lu Qingrang said calmly, “Having you in the car is a guarantee for both of us.”

    Director Wang looked embarrassed. He looked at Lu Qingrang’s eyes and thought about the importance of this project. He finally sighed: “Okay, I promise you.”

    “Thank you.” Lu Qingrang nodded slightly, and then proposed a second plan: “In addition, my assistant and I will go to the venue separately that day.”

    “?” Director Wang looked confused.

    “My assistant and I will leave separately.” Lu Qingrang said calmly, “If the Nangong family really takes action, it must be for me. And my assistant Xu Wen also holds control of the company and is fully qualified to sign this document.”

    Director Wang did not answer immediately this time, and looked back and forth on Lu Qingrang’s face.

    “Director Wang, there can’t be any mistakes in the Tianqiong project.” Lu Qingrang added at the right time, “This is double insurance.”

    Director Wang pondered for a long time and finally nodded: “Okay. I will send more people to make sure nothing goes wrong.”

    Lu Qingrang stood up slowly, his expression not relaxed: “I hope so. But some preparations have to be made.”

    He walked towards the door, put his hand on the door handle, stopped and turned around:

    “Director Wang, please be sure to protect Xu Wen.”

    Director Wang nodded solemnly: “I understand.”

    ———-

    In the president’s office on the top floor of Nangong Group, the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.

    Nangong Chen swiped his arm suddenly, and all the documents, mobile phones, and tablets on the table flew out, smashed against the wall, and then fell one after another.

    The assistant standing in the corner trembled with fright and lowered his head.

    “Fighting against evil forces? Opening illegally?” Nangong Chen tore up the documents in his hands, “These industries have been operating for more than ten years, and now they are just going to be regulated?”

    His eyes were red and he was pacing back and forth in the office.

    The recent news made him anxious. An underground bank owned by the Nangong family was seized, and three senior uncles were taken away overnight for investigation.This is the third core industry to be uprooted this month.

    Suddenly, he pulled off the famous calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, and the picture frame smashed to pieces on the ground, with glass shards flying everywhere!

    “Where are the people behind those old guys on the board of directors? Huh?” Nangong Chen turned around suddenly and stared at the assistant huddled in the corner. “When collecting the money, they all patted their chests and made promises. Now that something has happened, are they all pretending to be dead?”

    The assistant said tremblingly: “Mr. Chen, this is an order directly from above. There is no way to stop it.”

    “Shut up!” Nangong Chen grabbed an ashtray and threw it against the wall, “A bunch of trash! They’re all trash!”

    He gasped and suddenly let out a sneer.

    Once upon a time, the title “Crown Prince of the Underworld” allowed him to navigate both the black and white worlds unimpeded. How ironic it is now.

    “Where’s the specific signing time and route! It’s been so long! Can’t that old guy even give you this?!” Nangong Chen turned around suddenly, staring at the assistant with his scarlet eyes.

    The assistant was so frightened that he took half a step back and his voice trembled: “Chen, Mr. Chen, they just told us to give up, saying that this time…this time we can’t stop it…”

    “Give up?” Nangong Chen seemed to have heard a big joke, “You want me to give up?”

    He felt that all the blood in his body was flowing backwards, and his sun was beating sharply.

    These years have been smooth sailing, and all shady businesses have been operating safely under the protective umbrella, but now they are collapsing one after another.

    Ever since Tianqiong System was slapped in the face by Lu Qingrang in public, the Nangong family has been losing ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    Those who once fawned over them are now drawing a line under them, and even their most reliable protections are no longer reliable.

    “If you don’t stop Lu Qingrang, if you don’t kill him…” Nangong Chen clenched his fists and dug his fingernails into his palms, “Our system still can’t be repaired. If the wind blows now, the Nangong family will really lose everything!!”

    He stared out the window, his eyes as cold as ice.

    The door of the office was gently pushed open, and Su Xia walked in gently and softly on high heels.

    She looked at the mess all over the ground, and her eyes flashed with distress.

    “Chen, let me help you.” She walked to Nangong Chen, her voice was soft but firm.

    Nangong Chen turned around suddenly: “You? What can you do?”

    The ends of Su Xia’s eyes were red: “I’m going to find Lu Qingrang. I know him, and I know how to make him relent.” Her voice was choked with sobs. “Believe me, Chen, I will use my method!”

    Nangong Chen suddenly laughed, his laughter filled with madness.

    He pulled Su Xia into his arms with such force that she staggered.

    “Okay, very good. When this is over, I’m going to chop Lu Qingrang into pieces and feed them to the fish!”

    Su Xia leaned her whole body into Nangong Chen’s arms: “I will listen to you.”

    The two hugged each other amidst the mess on the ground, looking at each other lovingly.
